“…An 808 nm diode laser was the latest group used in a study evaluating the wound healing process. 8 Studies were conducted comparing the clinical use of an 808 nm laser and scalpel, and the advantages of the laser regarding patient perceptions, reattachment and healing have been mentioned. 5,6,12 It has been reported that 980 nm diode laser surgery produces a moderate amount of facial edema in %16 of the patients.…”

“…6,7 However, recovery is slower in surgical procedures performed with a laser compared to scalpel. 8,9 Edema formation may occur because diode lasers can penetrate the adjacent tissue and cause lateral heat damage and this damage can cause delayed healing of the surgical site. 9 In conventional surgery, VAS scores reported higher, recovery is provided with primary healing 5 and healing occurs more quickly than in laser surgery due to the absence of ablated tissue.…”

The surgical procedure that lessens edema formation after frenectomy surgery is important.Re-epithelialization with lasers occurs differently from conventional surgery, and this can affect the salivary EGF level. The aim of this study was to determine edema caused by frenectomy surgery and compare the amount of EGF in saliva. Conventional and 810 nm diode laser surgery performed with thirty-four patients. Laser parameters were 400 µm fiber with 2.5 W output energy, in continuous mode.3D face scan data was obtained with a Planmeca Proface Mid device and analyzed with the 3D metrology method using the CloudCompare V2 software. Cephalometric analysis was performed using 2D profile photographs with Geogebra software. Edema measurements were repeated on day 1 (T1), day 3 (T2) and day 14 (T3). All saliva samples were collected at T1 and T3 and salivary EGF concentration was determined using the ELISA method. In conventional surgery, a significant difference was found between ΔT2-T1 and ΔT3-T1 in 3D metrology measurements (p=0.0046). In 2D cephalometric measurements there was significant differences in Angle A T2-T1 vs. Angle A T3-T1 (p=0,0014) and vs. Angle B T2-T1 (p=0,0017) and vs. Angle B T3-T1 (p=0,0087) in conventional surgery. There were no significant changes in edema measurements of laser surgery. The laser frenectomy does not produce edema significantly (p=0,1232). There were no significant changes between groups in salivary EGF measurements (p>0.999). The 810 nm laser surgery produced less edema than conventional surgery. The 810 nm diode laser does not significantly affect salivary EGF.
